Ok so I'm 24 and my 12 year old little sister lives with me because my dad/stepmom all have jobs and i can't find a babysitter or take her to work with them. And my mom can't take her because she lives in a very small apartment with out 5 year old brother and 18 month old lil sister is a stay at home mom and their dad is on the run from the government never pays child support and is supost to be deported back to Ghana. Our 15 other silblings dont live in North America and can't take her. So our dad pays for us and I take care of her is it weird?

My sister in law has a 1 year old and she has time to watch tv or use her cellphone or just sit down and relax. i don't have a child and i am always cleaning my apartment. it's always messy since my husband leaves things around. but i mop and clean the bathroom everyday and everything seems to just be on the floor, on the couch, etc. i don't know know how my sister in law keeps her apartment clean with a 1 year old. I don't know how she can just sit and watch TV while there are so many things in the house to take care of! She has a house and I have an apartment. Why is my apartment always messy?!

I'm 16 and she won't let me do these things: Smoke weed (But i'm allowed alcohol) Listen to Wagner or any type of Nationalist music because she found out I've got right wing views Do Judo until I just went and said **** u and she's now ok with it Go on computer all day, she says go outside even though I spend half my days biking in countryside and i'm acheing like mad Watch adult sites she put a filter on it Is thgere any way to negotiate u lot would recommend or should I just leave home????

Hi everyone I am 26 years old lady and I have 2 brothers one is john 24 years old and other is russel 21 years old. Me and john are completely in love with each other, we hang out go movies party kiss and sometimes have sex. Its consensual. No one knew about our love until one day russel found out. We were kissing in car and he saw us. He came to us and said he ll not disclose this secret if I have sex with him. I had no other option and I had to go ahead with it. Now its been 8 months and i am still in love with john. John went out of country for one month and i was closer to russel. Its been two days i am getting dressed up for john as he will come back in two days. Russel came to me and apologised for everything he did and i forgave him but i dont want him to go away from me either is it because i am in love with both of my brothers? John has no problem with me going close or having sex with russel and i dont have issues either What should i do?

So this afternoon I saw him getting ready to go out. And I asked where he was going and he said to get something fixed on his car. He said I coukd come too, but it would be boring so I may as well stay home and study for an practice exam I have on Monday and Tuesday. He took my sister, who is really my cousins daughter, which is why I'm calling her adopted although she isnt officially. Anyways they came home in the evening with a sh-t ton of toys r us bags. I don't know if you herd of sylvanian families. U know those minuture toy animals in clothes. Well they had what must be hundreds dollars worth of them. Cuz my sister was sat on the floor opening them all. And she had 2 houses, a bus, a car, all these furniture sets and room sets and like 30 characters. I dont want none of that ovizly, but its unfair that he clearly lied about what he was going to do that day. He says he didn't intend to go toys r us, that they just went to McDonalds and theres a toys r us nearby so he thought they maynas well look around. Yeah right. He spoils her and never buys me nothing. He said its cuz shes 5 and I got spoiled plenty at 5. He's such a liar. I don't remember having that much toys. I have spent the day studying and watching boring next top model reruns with my mom when I could of been getting video games and Lego (I like Lego shut up) It's not fair. Can I get him arrested he treats my sisters better than me. when I complain he says I'm older. I used to be an only child its not fair But he was very decietful and all he brought back for me was 2 mcflurrys cuz he said he couldn't find any Lego sets that looked hrd enough to be fun to build. Well he could of got me a ps4 game or something

here's everything I have/get (I'm 13) -IPhone 6 s plus in rose gold -Laptop (It's not a MacBook it's just a Windows) -I have a Tommy Hilfiger bag and a D&B bag -I have 3 juicy couture perfumes -most of my clothes are hollister and forever 21 -my parents give me $59 a month and extra every week (the extra is if o do chores the 59 is just for the heck of it) -My dad has a Range Rover and my mom has a Chevrolet and I'm getting my moms Chevy when I'm 16. -I have a huge collection of heels -I have a bunch of nail polish and lipgloss -Most of my makeup is from target but some is from Sephora (4-5 things from Sephora) -I've been to a bunch of kalin and Myles concerts and have met them -I have A hoverboard (Actually it's a Segway but whatever) -I live in Southern California (but I live in a town house in a not the best neighborhood) I am NOT trying to brag. My friends just say I'm spoiled but I think I'm normal. What do you guys think

I m an 18 year old girl senior in high school living with my grandparents, physically they give me everything i need but they are very abusive and i have literally no other family members that arent on their side. Since im 18 i d really like to get a cheap apartment (like 900$ a month) but idk how to go about it. Getting a job is so hard, ive been trying for over a year and nobody is hiring me. And even if i did get a job it wouldnt pay enough to afford a cheapapartment so idk how some other young adults afford it, i really need some advice and please dont tell me to just "deal with it" and stay in this house. They are literally killing me, they make me self harm, they ruin my confidence, they make me suicidal. I cant be here any longer and the police system or child services isnt helping since theres mostly emotional abuse rather than physical. Im so stuck and i cant take it. Im also going to community college next year so i wont even be living on campus.

So I m a good kid I don t smoke it drink I come home after college but I m not the smartest kid I get bad marks . My dad being so obsessive with marks gets mad at me and hits me whenever I get bad marks . He says that he is doin it for my good that I ll become a smart person eventually. This morning he was dropping me off at the bus stop and he got mad suddenly so he drove off into a area and kicked my *** outside the car and I walked to my bus stop. My question is this normal ? Is it normal that I have no friends ? And he is still abusing me at this age ?

My parents and relatives say that if I abandon my husband, they tell me I won't find anyone as good as he is just because I met him through a family friend at a wedding a couple of years ago and that meeting people on my own is wrong since chances are, they are bad people and neither of my family, relatives, or friends don't know them and/or their families at all either. There is nothing interesting about my husband. He doesn't look that physically attractive even though my family and relatives think he is (in a right way to them). He's bossy, whiny, bitchy, overly-emotional, clingy, needy, has trust issues with me, talks badly about other people we're not familiar with, esp. other men, for not having the same values as him and my family, etc. that's it's caused me a lot of distress as well as tiny strands of grey hair (even though I'm 32 like he is). It's like my family and relatives are telling me to stay with him and that it's wrong to get a divorce from him or else I'd be a slut for dating a variety of men they don't like when I divorce him. Why can't these people let me be me? It's crazy how my relatives also have set criteria about whom I should marry. If they see me with someone I meet on my own and that is different from who my cousins get married to, they would not like him at all because they think he's the wrong person no matter what. I come from a culture that is introverted (Asian) and it's no wonder family and relatives don't allow me to meet people on my own.

Only had one gf in my life.. currently 24 years old. I have a great future ahead of me, as will be completing my masters degree this spring and basically have a job lined up. I think im a nice and funny guy, but yet girls never seem to like me or find me attractive. Like even with my ex-gf.. she only said I was handsome like once within the three months we were together. Am I just that ugly? This all is why I feel like I have no self-esteem and insecurity. I'm 6'3 and weigh 250lbs, but I am trying to lose weight. Am I just fat or what?

When I was little, maybe 5 or 6, my brother would come in my room and play a game he called "doctor". This "game" involved him removing my pants, putting me on all fours and performing analingus. I felt so gross and weird about it. Even to this day it makes me feel dirty when I think about it. If someone else were to tell me this happened to them I would consider it to be molestation, but because its me and not someone else I find it hard to label it that way. I don t know. What do you guys think?

Okay so I'm not really close with my dad at all because he's usually never home. So anyways I feel like my dad hates me. He never has anything good to say about me and he always tries to get my mom to hate me. He complains about me all the time and he yells at me for everything. He loves my sister and he's never had a moment where he was ever complaining about my sister. But he always complains about how I sleep too late or how I forget to do my homework or how I'm stressed out. One time I was studying and he kept hitting the wall and so I told him to be quiet and he started yelling about how I'm so antisocial and that I need to live in a cave and then he came in my room and took my phone and he threw it into the ground and now I have a cracked phone. Another time I was up late doing my homework and he came home from work and started freaking out about how it bothers him that I can't finish my homework and then he got my poster board and he started smashing it onto the table and he broke the poster. He keeps telling me that he can't be around me because I'm the worst and I hate it because I've been having issues with my friends and I just feel so lonely and upset and idk. whenever he yells at me and I don't answer he just keeps yelling and then says something about how I'm depressing and that I hate everything and that I don't deserve anything. I really just want to like get out and run away. How do I make my dad know how I feel because he's always stressed out from me.

So i have a family of 7...mom, dad, 3 brothers and 1 sister which ALL live with my parents including myself. One of my brothers has a job, but is very cheap and does not give my parents money unless they really need it, but no more than probably $50. My sister does pay the electricity, water, and other utilities sometimes. My other brother does not work..he says he has super anxiety yet does not go to therapy for it. My oldest brother which is 34 has a job but his alcoholism interferes with obtaining his jobs..so they end up firing him for not showing up. keep in mind my other 2 brothers are 24 and the other one is 31. The 31 year old is the one with the anxiety. My dad works his *** off while my brothers are just doing absolutely nothing to help him out with bills knowing we are not economically stable...my dad is 60 and i feel so angry and mad at everyone. any advice i can give my parents to help them understand they need to be tougher on them. my parents do tell them that they need to give them money to help them out but sometimes they do not take it seriously. btw sorry for the bad grammar..im typing this quickly

he always put his anger on me through punching me, from age 6 until 20, he stopped when he had a brain issue, now he's really un-stable, emotionally wrecked, since he stopped beating me up, he wants to beat me up many times, he's a violent person. i can't move out of the house either because i have mental problems which i blame my dad for this because he screwed up my life. now i'm kind of like destructive to him, a result he made by him self, destructive meaning, i have major depression and i influence him with it, and also i have serious talking problems, and when i speak to him, i make things awkward and giving a bad vibe, he said he wants to send me back to the mental hospital, simply because he doesn't want me in her, so i said i'll sue him then because he has no rights to do that, sue him for beating me up entire life, i'm 21 and mental hospital is not for me, i'm studying atm, trying to make money as well, just started.. he went crazy when i said i'll sue him, and almost wanted to kill me i think... idk what to do with such a terrorist in our house, and i can't live outside of a house, and nobody can take me to a mental hospital when i don't want or it makes my life worse. and there's no need for a mental hospital for me. I'm also noticing that my family is falling apart, like a domino, it never was like that, and i think i'm the reason for that, but first reason is my dad because he shouldn't had kids or not make 8 of them or not beat me up causing mental problems for me and wrecking my social life, causing me to become what i am today... from my dad, to me, and when i went into a bad state, major depression and attempted suicide 5 times... broke with my love of my life because of social problems, had traumas My mom suddenly is not good, my smaller brother who was confident person, happy, i notice in him slight depression atm, i think i give the people around me a bad vibe which causes them to be depressed just because i am.. and idk what to do, my dad started it all out. and i don't want to move out, it can end up really bad.. if i will get kicked out of the house, probably my life will be the end, i'm trying to recover, studying a lot of things, outside of the house i can't do anything, and probably will end my life from frustration or my dad will end up suiciding, i can feel that something is really wrong with him recently..

So this started a few years back. when they started to fight it was pretty light but then it got a lot worse, they thriw things at each other, my mom have hit my dad and vice versa sometimes. And now my dad got so mad in one of the arguments that he said "he sweard god like 15 times which is a big thing and said that if she doesnt leave the house he will drag her and then my mom said to me for some reason (were three sisters) that if we doesnt defend her she will never call us her daughters again. now this might sound silly but idk if it just because were muslims or arabs, if a parent says that is like a big thing. and im secretly on my dads side. he borrows like 700 dollars every month so that we can live because she doesnt wanna give anything even thobshe makes 2000 just because hes the man and he should work and my dad usually says to her that if you think like that shouldnt you clean and cook and she says we live in sweden its not like this here (like what the hell is she thinking) and my dad is also sick (he doesnt have any kidneys) and he always have to think about us and stress about us and im kind of mad at my mom. and they always blame each other especially my mom and i told her once that stop blaming him youre goddamn throwing things at each other in front of a ten tear old girl which is you daughter and she started crying and saying after all ice done to you. idk what to do help

My sister is 12, and whenever she enters the house. or waking up in the morning. every light, on. the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room. its not just like one, or two lights. its every light, the lights on the vent over the stove. the lights on top of the fireplace. and its not even during night, when you would need light. its during the daytime, when turning on the lights. wouldn't even make a difference. I tried confronting her, asking her why. She responds every time with a argument on that she needs the lights. when all she does is play on her phone. Any ideas as to what in her mind makes her turn on the lights, and freak out when i turn them off?(this is the middle/morning, like 3:00 pm from school. and like 11:00 am on the weekends.)

My mom is currently sleeping after crying, smashing tea mugs, and flooding the bathroom and forcing my dad to clean it up. She said "I just want to sleep and never wake up". This scares me so much. My dad gave us a speech about how he loves and now HE started crying. He had an alleged affair and both parents have different stories about everything. Each says the other is lying. I don't know who to believe. We are all snowed in the house, but my mom says she needs to get out of the house. We live just outside of DC and with the blizzard right now it is way to dangerous to drive. I also need to be here for my younger sister but I can barely keep myself together. This is too much for me to handle; I can't look after my parents and my sister. I have to comfort my mom, my dad, my sister, and take care of the pets because no one else is. My mom stopped cleaning up around the house so now I have to keep things clean and manage my homework. I just cooked dinner but my mom refuses to eat. I'm so scared. I can't call my family because no one is left on my dads side and my moms family lives in Germany. Even if I called a family friend, they couldn't drive to get here, and it would make things worse. My parents don't want anyone knowing about our issues. I'm only sixteen and I really dont have the authority. I don't know if the police would come in this weather. I don't think anyone is driving. Besides, what if this further upsets my family?

I am seriously thinking about killing myself so my mother can see her grandson. My brother is trying to protect his son from me because I have a history of hurting myself and being hospitalized. I live with my parents so they never come over. I have the opportunity and the means to do so when my parents go out for dinner tonight with my brother and his family. I have been feeling this way since yesterday. And no I am not depressed. I know exactly what I am doing.

My mom asked if I wanted to go to my cousins house today. I said no and she asked me why I didn't want to go because I'm always saying how I'm bored and want to get out of the house. OMG I don't know how to tell my mom why I don't want to go I'm so freaking scared. I never thought something like this would happen wtf. It happened when I was at my cousins house. My big brother didn't sleep over their house this time so I was alone because my house is boring and I didn't want to go back there. I remember I was in the living room watching tv, I went into the kitchen and he got up too. He started talking about the fight I got into at my school because he heard my mom talking about it . I told him that the girls at my school keep starting drama with me for no reason and he said maybe they're jealous of me because i'm pretty. Then he asked to pick me up to see how much I weighed.( yeah idk why weird). I didn't know how to respond so I shook my shoulders. The time he touched me in my sleep I was sleeping in my elderly cousins bed and she was asleep too. I'm a heavy sleeper. Anyways at 1st I thought I was dreaming but then I I woke up and felt someone was touching me. The cover was over my head so he didn't know. I was too scared to do anything so I just pretended like I was asleep, yawned and turned over to the other side of the bed.Then while he was leaving I took the cover off of my head and I saw who it was and he was in the bathroom washing his hands. Yeah but that's it i just don't know how to tell my mom I'm really shy and too embarrassed to tell her. I was 12 and he was an adult.

I'm 18 and living at home. I go to college full time and work. I help pay my bills and I pay for my food and clothes, ect. I'm not complaing about thier rules because yeah it is there house still and I am in the process of trying to move out. I honestly just do not like the way they are acting towards each other, me and my little sister. My dad has never acted like a father. He never has taken us to school, doctor appointments or anything. He complains when we are sick that it's "a waste of money". He barely talks to us and has told us before he doesn't like to be around us because we are girls. He even recently said he wouldn't care if me and my sister, who is 13, were gone out of his house. He treats my mother poorly. He calls her the worst names, curses at her, and controls when and where she goes. My mom is too blinded to see how he acts and will defend his every action even if that means hurting her kids. I love my parents and appreciate how they have provided for me. I guess I'm just asking what I should do about all the negativity they create. Again I am trying to move out asap but I still worry for my sister.

Dad always bashes on me and says how I m a worthless child. Ever since I got caught with weed he constantly bashes me on how I m so worthless and compairs me to other kids who bring home awards. He says how I have **** grades and all I do is get in trouble. He even said all of this when I forgot my folder at school. He forces everything on me like how he s enrolling me in this military academy when I would rather play sports. I never get a say in anything. What should I do?

He says it's fine for youtube but not COD or anything. He says do you know more than me? He says the controllers high frequency broke the tv.

I know this sounds selfish but I promise you I m not. My uncle (mom s brother) came to America in 2008 & has been living with my parents, older brother, and I. In 2009 my dad got very sick & had a hard time taking care of my brother & me so my mom brought her sister to take care of us. (Makes 6 of us) As I entered my preteen years, I fell into depression and sadly my parents don t believe in depression. In early 2015, I attempted suicide and have had suicidal thoughts since then :( In 2014 my uncle brought his daughter to America & has also been living with us since then. Originally a 3 bedroom house, we are now often running out of space to put things. I used to dance, and the basement was a place for me to practice all day for hours, but now my uncle sleeps there and the basement is cluttered and they split the living room into 2 & created a new room where my cousin and aunt sleep in 1 bed (since there s no more room). I m 15 now and a sophmore in highschool and have been getting good grades and I do plan on going to college. But for my 2 1/2 years left until college, I don t know what to do. My parents are strict & complain about me going to my friends house, but I don t feel comfortable for my friends to come over since my own home doesn t feel like home anymore. I always stay in my room. My brother goes to college this following school year & without him I m scared my depression will get worse. I feel so lost in life and I don t know what to do :(

Hi... I'm about to be 13 years old and I live in the state of Texas... Me and my mom for as long as I can remember, have been in a loveless relationship that we both have admitted to. She refused to allow me to live with my dad but I think her and my stepdad are going to get divorced very soon, is it possible that I can possibly turn over custody to my dad or my step dad? Please I need all the help I can get!

I would LOVE to be an only child, and I LONGED to be the only child. This nonsense about "only children are lonely" is crap.... only children can get solitude and alone time, but kids with siblings are lonelier because some other kid always gets attention from mom and dad and you have to fight to get noticed. I feel unloved because my mom splits her attention between me and my stepbrother and she can never be there when I need her. I don't have anyone in the world who loves only me, and I don't have an exclusive relationship with anyone. It's winter and it's snowing, and I am trapped in the house with my mom and stepbrother and she has ignored me all day but waited on him hand and foot. I'm her daughter but she's never there for me because Tyler needs this or Tyler needs that, and I'm like... what about my needs? I literally have no none who loves me. If my mom had loved me she would have kept me an only child. I wish I could be adopted by a loving mom who WANTS a little girl :'( And not someone who just wanted a boy. Tyler isn't my bio brother, he's my stepbrother, btw. My mom was once married to his dad. My bio dad lives in another state and has very little contact with me. It feels so lonely that I don't have anyone to love me... Tyler was born when I was 3. I wanted a pet, not a sibling, NO one took my feelings into consideration. Why would anyone want siblings? Why did I have to be born into such an unloving family?

This is regarding the case in the news awhile ago, where a young woman bit off the penis of the man who was attempting to rape her. He had attacked her and was trying to force himself in her mouth, but she bit down hard. Over 90 percent of his penis was removed, and it could not be reattached. The article didn't give names, but said the woman was 20 years old, and the man 34 years old (who apparently had a history of sex offences). I was reading some comments online about it by guys, and they felt sorry for the rapist! They said he was wrong, but also that the girl went too far. They thought its unfair that he can't orgasm now (and that she deprived him of all future sexual pleasure, and he "has to pee, and feel, like a girl now"). 1. Do you agree, that she had a right to do what she did? 2. Do you feel sorry that he "has to pee, and feel, like a girl" now (& why)? 3. What do you think abut him being unable to have sexual pleasure now, or orgasm, ever again? 4. If you were the nurse who tended the rapist's "scar", what would you wanna SAY to him (using quotations)? .

I am a high school senior guy with a 14 year old sister Lisa that I really like. My high school buddies like to hang out at my house and they also like Lisa a lot. Lisa has a lot of homework and she often ask my buddies to help her with her homework. They are happy to help as they enjoy helping her. Since they have started helping her, her grades are much better. Lisa is a very affectionate person so after her homework is finished she thanks the guys for their help, hugs them and gives them a kiss. THEY LOVE IT. It is not a romantic thing with her. It is just her way of saying thank you. My buddies just like being kissed by a beautiful girl. They act like they are just helping their little sister. I have told my buddies over and over that Lisa is NOT FLIRTING WITH THEM. Even so, I am afraid my buddies will get the wrong idea of Lisa's intentions. Do you think they will? Should I tell her to stop the hugging and kissing?

My wife and I were at her mother's (Linda) house. My wife was showing me the family photo album. In it was Linda's pictures as a swim suit model. Wow, was Linda great looking and had a figure to die for. I told my wife "I see where you get your good looks. Your mother is gorgeous ". Linda heard me and came over and hugged me and said "You made my day". My wife asked her mother if she could still get in the bathing suit she had on in the pictures. Linda said "Yes, they still fit". My wife ask her mother to put one on so she could get a picture of her now in the swim suit. Linda said she did not think she should do that as the swim suit was too revealing. Linda turned to me and said "You would not like to see me in a micro bikini would you"? Every guy reading this knows what the truthful answer is but I can not say that. Wives, I would like your opinion on how I should have answered without making my wife mad.

My mon convinced her friend Helen to buy a computer so they could communicate with email. Mom asked me to train Helen on how to use the computer. I agreed to do the training. I went to Helen's house on a Saturday and started her training. As I was leaving Helen's husband, Al told me he did not want me coming back to their house. I said OK but I ask him why. He said he did not want his wife around other men. The next Saturday, Helen called me and wanted to know what time I was coming over. I told her I could not come back and what Al had told me. She was outraged. She said "That is the last straw. I am filing for divorce Monday morning from that control freak of a husband. About a month later I got a call from Al. Helen had kicked him out of the house. Al wanted me to call Helen and tell her he was drunk when he told me he didn't want other men around his wife and that he did not mean it. I don't know if he meant it but he was NOT drunk. I told Al I was not getting involved their martial problems. In fact I don't want to have any contact with either of them EVER. Please tell me if you think I did the right thing in this matter?

I'm 16 years old and I live in the state of Michigan. In July I will be 17. I really don't want to live with my mother anymore. I am so depressed and I don't know what to do but it will only get worse if I stay here. I know that I can move in with my dad if I want to but he lives 5 hours away and I really don't wanna move that far and have to switch schools in the middle of my junior year of high school. I was thinking of moving in with my grandma. She has room and she only lives 15 minutes from me and my dad has told me before I should move in with her. If she says it's okay would I be able to move in there legally or would my mom have to consent to it? I really don't think she will. What is a way that I can get out? And how should I bring it up to my mom and my grandma? What do you think my best option is? Also I have two younger siblings.. And I don't really want to have a custody battle happen over me and I don't want my siblings to move in with me. Is there a way that just I could move?

I grew up with my cousins in the same house. At age 7, we got a two family house and we made a door in the basement to connect our houses together, the house is under one contract. My cousins and I decided to get an apartment together because we go to the same college. Their mom put her name on the lease as a tenant. She mentioned before that she would visit. I noticed her name but I signed. She actually moved in to the apartment. No one told me she was planning on living here and my cousins did not know either. he rent was being divided up by me and my cousins. she was never paying rent because she was not suppose to be there. I fought with my uncle and then my aunt finally left. Was this my fault? I would feel a lot better about my actions if her name was never on the lease as a tenant.

I'm 12, almost 13, and I have been riding horses for 5 years. My parents are both educated and look foreward to me attending college. I have always wanted to be a veterinarian, but after becoming serious about riding a year ago, I feel that I really want to become a professional horse person. However, I am scared that my parents will not accept or support my choice. My mom is an animal-lover, and has always been excited about me wanting to become a vet, and I think I would be letting her down if I told her I wanted to devote my life to horses. My dad thoroughly believes in getting an education and having the "average" middle class life (a good job, a family, a stable income, etc.). I know my parents only want the best for me, and I want to make them happy. How do I tell them that equestrian is truly my passion, without disappointing them? By professional horse person, I mean owning a small, private, competition stable, gaining income from buying and selling horses, competing, and maybe doing some clinics (a group class by a very good trainer that people must pay money for, in a nutshell) and lessons. :)

My brother is 17 and I can't stand him. When he wants attention he wears his hair down and a misfits shirt. When he's in church he wears "hipster clothes"and acts christian. I am not a christian but this infuriates me. Mainly because he cusses like a storm and acts like a satanist emo at home. He's also a jerk..

About 2 years ago my parents had problems in their relationship, like my dad felt like my mom didn't love him anymore but apperantly they're good now. But now whenever my dad is at work my mom always takes private calls, like every once in a while she gets a call like 2-3 times a week she goes in her room and lock herself in their with her headphones on so we don't hear. And every time I walk into the room and she's on her phone she will immediately turn it off and have it face down right by her side. And like 3-4 years ago when ever she was on the computer on fb and I walked in she would immediately exit out of the page. And about a month and half ago she's like "oh I forgot something in the car I'll be right back" and she took her phone with her and she was in the car for like 40 minutes and when she came back she didn't bring anything with her. And yesterday after school I was waiting for her to pick me up and I kept calling her and she wouldn't answer, and I asked her why she was late and she wouldn't tell me but then she's like I went to the grocery store to buy things for dinner tonight and when we got home she didn't take out any groceries from the car. I'm pretty sure she wasn't in the grocery store and I wanna know why she didn't answer me because whenever someone calls her and she's driving she always answers. So yeah I wanna know why she's acting like this is she cheating? I really hope not because my dad loves her like you have no idea.

I regret moving in with my grandmother when I know I am not happy here. She insisted that I move in when I told her I am not happy here. I had plans of moving to another town she bribed me in telling me things will be better when I knew better. I told her this morning that I would be leaving Feb 1st and moving forward. I had a letter for her, but came out and told her what I needed to say. I know I can't stay another day here less more another month for my health and well being. I am engaged and my fiance is very concerned for me here. He doesn't want me here and quite frankly this is the biggest mistake I made. My grandmother wrote my counselor a letter saying she doesn't want me to move out. I can hear my aunt and her talking aboute. I confronted my grandmother about that too and asked her to leave me alone until I move out. Idk what to do with this situation with her and our relationship. I do know that my fiance is dealing with his daughter that's sick right now, I am concerned for her and him too.

I've been grounded ever since 4th grade and I'm in 8th grade now for bad grades. I can understand that but it's too much. It's to the point where if I get into something it's taken away instantly. They also don't understand that every time any one in my family talks about my grades I feel even more stupid even though I try as hard as I can I always fail the same math grade over and over again. It's to the point where I'm not surprised when I'm alone in my dark room trying to sleep at 10 in the afternoon on a Saturday trying to sleep. They don't even try to help me anymore. They ask why I'm failing and he simple answer is I don't understand what the teacher is teaching but they don't believe me. I don't want a tutor because It would make me feel even more stupid than I already am. Even though I can ace any other class this math grade kills me. I don't know what to do about it. And my parents are so ignorant they won't let me talk to them about it or try to explain because apparently everything I say is wrong and that I'm just not doing my work when I haven't skipped any of my work. Btw I stole my phone from their nightstand and that's how I'm writing this. Please help me I don't know what to do anymore.

My brother is really mean. He always makes fun of me that i suck at playing league of legends (I play for fun only), and about how I am fatter than him (I'm younger). Also, he's not afraid to hurt me. HE ALWAYS HURTS ME AND HE DOESNT EVEN CARE ABOUT ME. He makes me cry because of all the pain. He punches me for the stupidest reasons and beats me up, leaving scars/bruises. I am a girl btw, so I just hate it. What should I do? =(

So It's snowing where I am, and my mom is being a total btich. Usually I don't have any problems with her. Today seems off. So even when I was younger she always dressed me in like 5,000 pounds of clothes. Now that I'm 13 she still wants to dress me in like really heavy pants and shoes and jackets, etc. while my friends run around with barely anything on. We're originally from New Jersey and we just moved to Georgia and have been here for 3 years. Now she told me to go get these snow boots like its the north pole because I want to go out. Its only 30 degrees here which is not that cold. Do you think that's she's being a little to much now that I'm older and I'm not going to roll around in the snow? Are work boots good to wear in the snow?

My 16 year old brother is going to now live with us (my boyfriend and 2 small kids) because our mother doesn t want him to stay with her anymore. She is supposed to give us $700 a month as "child support." How much of that would be fair to give to him as an allowance? How much should go toward "our" living expenses as a family? I want to be fair. Also, if anyone has any other suggestions as to what would be helpful in this sudden change, I d greatly appreciate it.

I am 35, and just came home. I got knocked up at 18, didn't know who the father was, and left the country. I decided my daughter should know her family, so I came home. It's a small town and everyone remembers how much of a slut I was but I haven't slept with anyone since I left and I don't intend to. Everyone thinks I am going to jump right into bed with them!

I recently lost my twin brother & its really hard,its like a part of me has gone.He lost his wife at childbirth,leaving him with their daughter.The girl 3 yrs now,was at our parents home during the time of my brother's passing(accident).My parents were just shocked,dad took mom into the room as he didnt want her to cry infront nor tell of the child what happened,coz it could devastate her.I returned to home the next day to meet my parents & niece.My niece jumped up,hugging me saying,"Hi daddy,where have you been?"I was about to burst out crying,but for the girl,I held in my tears & didn't want to make her cry,that her dad isn't coming back.She still believes I'm her dad & knows she has an uncle,but thinks I'm in another state.At his funeral,we didn't bring my niece & kept her home with a babysitter.I came to a hard decision with my parents & my late sis-in-law's parents that I would adopt my niece & raise her in place of my brother.I will 'be' my brother for her.Its coz I love her,I can't bear to see a little girl who lost her mom,now having to know that her only other parent has died.As for the uncle,I will avoid talking about myself to her,to the point where she grows up forgetting about him(that's indirectly me)& I would even change my first name to a similar variant of my brother's(his name's Adrien,I'd go for Adrian),put away photos of us together & move with the girl to another place.I just want her to be happy,but I'm very depressed & torn,should I really do this???

My aunt (true story) is short, insecure, and not considered "attractive" and doesnt work.She comes from Kuwait & hates all my uncle's relatives. When my aunt A from Lebanon went to my uncle's house to help them ( my aunt from Kuwait was pregnant with 1st child), there was a man painting something outside, and she lied to my uncle and said aunt A was spraying something to kill the baby in her womb. My uncle punched aunt A and said "Youre trying to kill a child"... My aunt from Kuwait didnt finish college, but my aunt A did. Everyone gets jealous or insecure, but what causes a person to lash out at those they feel jealous of like my aunt from Kuwait did? If I was in my aunt Kuwait's position, I would have gone up to Aunt A and explained "I feel insecure and mad because I didnt finish college, I feel unattractive" and would have found a solution. Aunt Kuwait came from a poor family, and I suppose her family must have been abusive (from stress of being poor) because she is not a good person. She causes problems, and is aggressive. She is selfish, because she didnt talk to her mom for 19 years,and married my uncle against her parents' wishes.. She is stingy, for her 7th yo girl Birthday, she didnt buy a cake. She got a plate of hummus. She only feeds her children 7 grapes for breakfast. She can never go back home, becuz her parents would kill her for marrying a foreigner. What causes the extreme selfishness, anger, and maliciousness in her?

I grew up with my cousins in the same house. At age 7, we got a two family house and we made a door in the basement to connect our houses together, the house is under one contract. My cousins and I decided to get an apartment together because we go to the same college. Their mom put her name on the lease as a tenant. She mentioned before that she would visit. I noticed her name but I signed. She actually moved in to the apartment. No one told me she was planning on living here and my cousins did not know either. he rent was being divided up by me and my cousins. she was never paying rent because she was not suppose to be there. I fought with my uncle and then my aunt finally left. Was this my fault I would feel a lot better about my actions if her name was never on the lease as a tenant.

It's about my younger brother (Max), so, our neighbors have a girl (Olivia), and ever since they were kids, they were together all the time, they were the best of friends, and by the time he was 15, they told their feelings to each other, they were both in love, so they started dating, Max loved Olivia more than anything, he treated her like a queen, he never did anything to hurt her, he did everything he could to make her as happy as possible, she was his whole life, both of them loved each other like nothing else, at some point of time he even told my mom that he wanted to marry her when they're older, he told my mom that she is the girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with, they continued dating for 3 years, and about a month ago, Olivia died in a car accident, Max was heart broken, I never saw him like this before, for 3 weeks, 3 weeks, he NEVER got out of his room, he never went to school, he was just there crying his heart out on his bed, he was devastated, we couldn't do anything about it, no one could make him feel better, one week ago, my best friend came to visit, she knew about what happened to Max, she went there to his room to try and make him feel better, she loved Max a lot and never gave up on trying to help him, somehow, she managed to do so, Max finally got out of his room. After 2 weeks, this was the first time he got out of his room. The next day he went to school, he wasn't ready, I told my parents but they forced him to go, his girlfriend's sister was in that school too, she stayed with him all the time because she knew he was still heart broken, anyway, one of the guys there always bullied Max, he saw him and went to bully him, Max told him to back off, and that guy told him "What? are you mad because your gf is a dead b*tch", Max lost it, he punched him and broke his nose. That guy was bleeding so bad they had to rush him to the hospital, Max got suspended for that, and now, it's happening again, he won't get out of his room, I can hear him cry at night, I remember the times when he used to tell her that she was his whole world, and now he lost her, I don't know what to do anymore, Max is still heart broken over what happened, what am I supposed to do?? I really want to help him but I can't, nothing I do works. My older brother is really no help at all, I mean he doesn't know how to deal with this situation, me and my mom have been trying to make him feel better but nothing works. I hate seeing my little brother like that, I hate seeing him look so weak and helpless, please help me what am I supposed to do, I just want my brother to be happy again.

My dad has this giant 100watt stereo system and he jams music at high volumes every weekend, or whenever he s off of work, everybody in the household despises it. Could I call the cops for a noise complaint? Oh and I hardly am ever able to get any sleep because of it, it's REALLY annoying!

We always butt heads and sometimes it's just easier to avoid being in the same room as him rather than getting into a fight. But every single time I walk into the kitchen to eat, he magically appears as soon as I start getting food out and then I'm either forced to leave and wait it out (particularly annoying when I want breakfast and I'm starving) or scarf my food down and leave as soon as possible before he starts having some stupid conversation with me that he has no idea is driving me crazy and then I don't deny my food at all

I'm 20 and since I'm in school I live with my parents during the summer. In July, my boyfriend of 4 years' mother is getting married. My parents are abusive and hate my boyfriend (for unjustified reasons) and if they knew where I was going I would get in a lot of trouble and be kicked out (again). Where do I say I'm going if I'm all dressed up? Again, this is a safety issue, not just a kid trying to go over their parents' heads.

I was on the train with her . I was using my phone playing on YA . She looked over and I quickly get my phone away so that she won't be able to see what I'm doing . She asked " Are you doing something bad ? " I said " no " . She replied " Then why can't you let me see what you're doing ? " I explained " I have my own privacy . " She said " Why are you scared of me to see what you are doing ? " I repeated again " Not because I am doing something bad , it is coz I have my own privacy " . That's how it went ... help ! She keeps on probing into my privacy !

I'm 28 years old recently I was here asking if I should tell my parents or not. They found out I was going but that I didn't tell them. They gave me hell so now I'm not going but I told them I wanted to go in March. They are still giving me a hard time. So now what do I do? Yes I still live at home but I do work and I go to school. Yes they do still pay for some of my things still I do have my own job. Should I just tell them I'm going and take a cab?

Im going to college in April, I've always lived close to my family my whole life. Im moving almost 24 hours across the United States. None of my family lives remotely close to where I will be moving and I will be all on my own. Im 18 years old. I am honestly super scared and I am just mentally and Physically breaking down. I know it will be an adventure for sure, but just scared.

ikom

If I'm around people for too long I get irritable and angry for no reason most of the time. I get tired I don't wanna talk to anyone. I just want to go home and be alone. It's even around people that are close to me like my family. During thanksgiving, christmas, and family reunions I feel like punching a wall or a person lol. Does this happy to anyone else? What could it be?

I'm 13 and she's 8 and she's AN IDIOT!!!!!! She creates problems and then my mom and dad get mad and yell the house down and I get mad and scream and hit her. She comes in my room and teases me and she is just a little idiot. I know you will say 'she's only young and that's what kids do' but she is terrible!!!! Please help me😭 My mom and dad are miserable because of her and we don't know what to do😐😖😖😖

So he was annoying me by chewing with his mouth open and I told him multiple times to stop he said "I can do whatever I want" so I stood up and went to his room and took his PlayStation games and I said "I can do whatever I want" and he stood up grabbed me by the arm and twisted it I tried to kick him in the nuts for him to let go but he kept twisting until I cried. He doesn't seem to understand that what he's doing is wrong I told my mom she just told him to not do it again and he was like "whatever she was in the wrong here" (he's 15 I'm 16) and I'm a girl What should I do to make him understand?

My brothers are 32 and 26 and I'm 17. The 32 has children, owns in full his house, and is on roughly 200k a year. the 26 is on 70k plus and has more than 200k in the bank and lives at home bill free. I'm about to go to uni for 5 years, which I have to pay in full myself, am looking for work and get $100 student assistance. I recently went to stay with my dad, who has recently come into quite a bit of money for a week, with my brothers not wanting to go. While there, he saw that I'm struggling a bit and said hed buy me a car for uni and give me $100 a week to help with books, internet, food. My brothers usually go overseas with him and make him pay and he thinks they have plenty and don't need his help atm. They recently found out and have rubbished me to him, saying they didn't get it, so why should I. (I chose to stay in school, and they went to work early). They have now removed my abiliy to get the money and are treating me absolutely and utterly despicable. Is this fair? They are so well off, they don't need money. There only purpose in stopping my Dad from helping me is a vindictive/jealous act, because he couldn't afford to help when they were my age. They're now going around, throwing tantrums and doing everything they can to stop me from being helped. I don't know what kind of person would to this to their little bro, just deliberate attempts to worsen my life.
